When do you rivet together the ribs that hold all the electrical and avionics? These are the upper forward fuselage just behind firewall.
Do these ribs have to be riveted before you hang the engine for strength purposes? I would think not. How about for cowling fit?
Do they have to be riveted before installing any electrical components? I would think so.
My fuselage, canopy is finished. Basic wiring for lights, sticks is done. Engine is ordered and coming soon. Is now the time to rivet these parts so I can start installing components?
Will there be any surprises if I rivet them now?
Pedals are in, brakes, etc.
